Wire race bearings and linear guides for vehicle construction
Perfect components for vehicle construction
Space, weight and durability are decisive factors in vehicle construction. Franke wire race bearings and linear guides offer compact, lightweight and ideally adapted solutions for the demanding requirements of the automotive, aerospace, marine and intralogistics industries.
Vehicle Construction
In vehicle construction, whether for cars, aerospace, boats or intralogistics, engineers are faced with special challenges. Space and weight optimization are often crucial, as are durability and resistance to reversing movements and shock loads. At the same time, the components must be easy to install and work reliably over the long term.
Franke wire race bearings and linear guides offer precisely the properties required for these demanding applications. Thanks to their large center clearance, wire race bearings enable compact and space-saving solutions, which are particularly advantageous in the field of automated guided vehicles (AGV). A wide range of variants in the standard range of rolling bearings and linear guides enables optimum adaptation to the respective surrounding construction.
For projects with special requirements, we offer customized solutions - from individual development to prototype production. Franke products are characterized by their low weight, low inertia and high integration capability, which makes them ideal for use in vehicles where every gram and every centimeter counts.
- Thanks to the possibility of freely selecting the material and geometry, Franke products offer maximum flexibility and adapt perfectly to the specific needs of your applications.
- Whether standard solutions or customer-specific developments - our wire race bearings and linear guides deliver the performance that is required in vehicle construction.
